On Unique Factorization Semilattices
نویسنده
چکیده
The class of unique factorization semilattices (UFSs) contains important examples of semilattices such as free semilattices and the semilattices of idempotents of free inverse monoids. Their structural properties allow an efficient study, among other things, of their principal ideals. A general construction of UFSs from arbitrary posets is presented and some categorical properties are derived. The problem of embedding arbitrary semilattices into UFSs is considered and complete characterizations are obtained for particular classes of semilattices. The study of the Munn semigroup for regular UFSs is developed and a complete characterization is accomplished with respect to being E-unitary.

Modelling Specialization as BLOOM semilattices
The capabilities of a data model to represent any conceptualization (expressiveness) are very important for faithful modelling. Focusing on the generalization/specialization dimension, unique features of the BLOOM model are presented: specialization criteria, four kinds of specialization, usage of specialization metaclasses, transitive specializations, combinations of specializations that autom...
متن کاملThe Semilattice Tensor Product of Distributive Lattices
We define the tensor product A ® S for arbitrary semilattices A and B. The construction is analogous to one used in ring theory (see 14], [7], [8]) and different from one studied by A. Waterman [12], D. Mowat [9], and Z. Shmuely [10]. We show that the semilattice A <3 B is a distributive lattice whenever A and B are distributive lattices, and we investigate the relationship between the Stone sp...
متن کاملLogics of varieties, logics of semilattices and conjunction
This paper starts with a general analysis of the problem of how to associate a logic with a given variety of algebras, and shows that it has a positive solution for two of the standard procedures of performing this association, and a negative one in the third. Then the paper focuses on the case of the “logics of semilattices”, which are defined as the logics related to the variety of semilatice...
متن کاملFactor Congruences in Semilattices
We characterize factor congruences in semilattices by using generalized notions of order ideal and of direct sum of ideals. When the semilattice has a minimum (maximum) element, these generalized ideals turn into ordinary (dual) ideals. Resumen. En este trabajo damos una caracterización de las congruencias factor en semirret́ıculos usando nociones generalizadas de ideal y suma directa de ideales...
متن کاملInert Module Extensions, Multiplicatively Closed Subsets Conserving Cyclic Submodules and Factorization in Modules
Introduction Suppose that is a commutative ring with identity, is a unitary -module and is a multiplicatively closed subset of . Factorization theory in commutative rings, which has a long history, still gets the attention of many researchers. Although at first, the focus of this theory was factorization properties of elements in integral domains, in the late nineties the theory was gener...
